Assessment of Subsoil Compaction by Soil Texture on Field Scale

Soil Compaction

soil compaction and texture effects on the growth of roots and shoots of wheat

in order to study the effect of soil compaction on root and shoot growth of wheat plants (shahriar variety), a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in guilan university. the study design was factorial with completely randomized in three replications. treatments included three compaction levels; (normal compaction, compaction of ten percent and twenty percent) and two type of soil texture (cl...

Outline of results concerning assessment of soil compaction in Estonia

In Estonia the effect of compaction on soil/subsoil is studied in two leading organizations: Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMÜ) and Estonian Research Institute of Agriculture (ERIA). An attempt has been made to methodologically harmonize them with methodological instructions given in the ISTRO (International Soil Tillage Research Organization). A novel methodology for complex assessment...

Bioremediation of a Drilling Waste-Contaminated Soil; Biotreatability Assessment and Microcosm Optimization for Developing a Field-Scale Remediation Process

Background: Petroleum drilling and exploration operations generate a significant amount of oily wastes. Comparing with physical and chemical remediation methods, bioremediation is cost-effective, highly efficient, and environment-friendly technology.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate biological treatment efficiency for an oil-contaminated s...
